Supporting Our Mob into Work!

Communities

For Communities

Communities are the heartbeat of Strong Pathways. At the centre of everything is culture, identity, and family. When mob are strong, families are strong — and when families are strong, communities thrive. Strong Pathways is about bringing purpose and role models back into the middle of community life.

Why the 6-Stage System Works for Communities:

Every stage of Strong Pathways creates a ripple of change:

  • Foundations – yarns with Elders, schools and local leaders to build trust.

  • Activations – restore identity and spirit strengths across young people and job seekers.

  • Elevations – break cycles for mob rebuilding from justice or life challenges.

  • Integrations – provide mentoring, planning, and life support that stabilise families.

These tools will show what other systems often ignore: that breaking cycles isn’t just about one person in work, it’s about strengthening the whole family and creating choice and hope across generations.

Looking Ahead – Family Impact Tools:

Right now, the Strong Pathways system is focused on jobs, identity, and stability. The next step is to develop tools that measure family impact:

  • Ceremonial success markers – tracking participation in culture and ceremony as part of wellbeing.

  • Family dynamic indicators – measuring how pathways influence parenting, siblings, and extended mob.

  • Social media storytelling – embedding positive family narratives into everyday community life.

Future Family Impact Tool

A vision for embedding ceremonial, cultural, and family measures into the system.

Strong Pathways starts with mob and ripples outward. By centring culture, family, and purpose, we create communities where hope replaces cycles, and choice replaces limits. The system is strong today — and growing stronger tomorrow.
